Well, considering this is rather cut and dry with multiple law enforcement officer and civilian witnesses to the crime, it should be something more like a 1 in ten chance that Satoshi can make his way out of this, on a 19 or 20. Of course a good lawyer could have modifiers but this is a rather cut and dry case.
That's where the twisting of facts comes into play!
Get the lawyer to make him look misguided, but not out to harm anyone. Make him sympathetic. Appeal to the emotional core instead of the factual one.
Point out that he specifically went to the deserted part of town as to not disrupt anyone. Mention he didn't violently resist arrest, when he certainly could have. Mention he was only using land deemed worthless, that his theft was of something almost everyone saw as having no value.
Meanwhile the prosecution would be hitting them with facts and evidence, but depending on how poignant the defense is these facts might have their points stolen. It's not all fact, the jury is made up of people.
Hell, even pleading guilty might earn him a point simply by making him look repentant. He knows he's done wrong by the law, and he's willing to atone.
We can make this
interesting.
But if Lantz wants to have tsukasa bust him out of jail, or if he wants to shake off Inferno Cop while on bail and doing whatever he wants, then that is also something he can do.
Hey Lantz, so what do you have to say about this:
But the thing is, having her randomly pop up and whisk Satoshi away would be a cop out(pun intended), and really having Inferno Cop look away from a second for her to attack is just a recipe for him forgetting about this whole thing and trying to conquer the castle of the guy bleeding on the floor instead of helping him, because HEY CONQUERING A CASTLE THAT'S NOVEL
It's in character okay.
Just, this arrest has had a lot of buildup, and a lot of twists and turns. It'd be kinda lame if I got lolnoped out of it.
Can't she hold back attacking or whisking until he's in a jail cell waiting on Inferno Cop to make a phonecall? He'd be looking away, it's the opportunity she's waiting for.
And Lawrence is locked in his cell dude, he can't do shit. And he'll be... otherwise occupied.
I mean, I'd like to settle this problem before thinking up more trial stuff.
